Recovery Time. By Ryan Quinn Flanagan



I can’t stand all those extended fight scene movies from Asia.
The ludicrous way every dish washer is a shaolin monk in waiting.
Hanging in the air forever riding invisible bicycle sternums.

And recovery time is big with me.
Everyone seems invincible and I get lost 
in all the fighting.

But such obvious hustles must bank well.
They keep making them for the money.
Not mine, but that doesn’t seem to mean anything.

With all those sensational flare gun posters.
Even the extras defying the basic  
laws of gravity.
